Military Watch Magazine – Sept 26, 2024
Unconfirmed reports from a number of European sources have indicated that an attack on an airbase in Ukraine destroyed four newly supplied F-16 fighter aircraft on the ground. The report was followed by reports from Russian sources that Kinzhal ballistic missiles were launched at an airfield in Strakonstantinov in Western Ukraine. The Kinzhal is a relatively rare and high end air launched missile class that has consistently been reserved for use against high value targets, very often including newly delivered NATO military equipment. Unlike Ukraine’s Soviet origin fighters the F-16 cannot deploy from airfields that are makeshift or otherwise less than perfect, which has placed greater limitations on the number of facilities which they can deploy from. This was long expected to make the aircraft easier to target, particularly compared to MiG-29s which previously formed the backbone of the Ukrainian fleet and have some of the world’s foremost off-runway performances.
The first F-16s were delivered to Ukraine on August 1, while the first was lost on August 26 – with this confirmed three days later. Reports have widely conflicted on the cause of this loss. Although the modern F-16 Block 70/72 is in production today with formidable capabilities, F-16s pledged to Ukraine, including the already delivered ex-Danish Air Force F-16AM/BMs, are notably obsolete Cold War era variants. These are not considered to have any remotely viable chance in air to air combat against 21st century Russian fighters with phased array radars and modern jamming systems, but are expected to be useful as delivery platforms for long range missile strikes into Russian territory – which can be launched from far behind Ukrainian lines. Denmark and the Netherlands have specifically given Ukraine permission to use its F-16s for such deep strikes, while the United States is considering providing AGM-158 JASSM air launched cruise missiles with long 400 kilometre ranges to Ukraine to facilitate such targeting. With NATO members having exhausted stockpiles of MiG-29s acquired from the Soviet Union, ageing F-16 variants are the only readily available fighters which can be used to escalate missile attacks on Russia.

Well the 40 year old F-16s were only ever meant to be target practice anyway 🙂
LOL…
‘Unconfirmed reports’..presumably ‘sources suggest’ this is possibly confirmed…hehe..the chumpbot farming out this nonsense is obviously a double agent…
It’s fascinating to watch how what passes for the press, in all its variegated shades of shit, seamlessly shifts the ‘narrative’…irregardless of which team you support… from terrorist /nazi (it’s all the same..just ahem copy that covers the truth) restrictive practices to full blown invasions with ne’er a pirouette or curtsy… and then of course the ‘re-building’… eventually…the ‘humanitarian’ free for all…with a big pot of stewing flesh in which to dip you bread… and get obscenely fat…
How simple it is…as one would expect when dealing with simpletons…
GOOD !
now they will deposite them in poland + Baltics
nearer to St Petersburg. Nato WARMONGERS !
my unsympatic neighbour (dumb as shit) his son is in Nahtod staff .
will he comprehend ? THIS IS WAR AGAINST CIVILIANS !
@ anti..
ALL war is war against civilians ..it has to be doesn’t it?..the conundrum being the civilians perpetrating it… it doesn’t take very much to turn your mild mannered church going next door neighbour into a killer, torturer and rapist… well… just a bit of bad luck, OD fatigues, an AK and a muddy hole to sit in…
and mist importantly, a bloke just like him over the way, trying blow his head off or spill his guts…but don’t worry it’s all perfectly legal..
and civilised.. 😉
why are there not more christians helping the muslims ?
“air to air combat against 21st century Russian fighters with phased array radars and modern jamming systems”, the phantoms of the russian operetta.
It is pretty laughable,the conspiracy theories concocted by the mainstream,embraced by alt.unquestioned.the ivans can not even build automobiles . I doubt whether they can even build bicycles.borscht packing and wodka guzzling pseudo logic fantasists.
a very great politician in the 1930s was offered by rothschild leadership of both his tory and labour parties
but he refused as he wanted freedom to run his own
his prediction that if jews were not removed from government
( like in germany ) there would be a third world war
my god how right he was

I was in the USAF for a decade and took part in air operations. I can tell you this, every fighter or bomber aircraft spends most of it’s life on the ground. An F-16 flies for about 1.5 hours max, unless it is on a ferry mission cross country. Thus, in a 24 hour cycle, that F-16 is a sitting duck.
The very first thing that happens to any airplane after landing, it taxis to get refueled. That means for 22 hours that F-16 is sitting chocked fully loaded with fuel, and the fuel is every where the engineers could put it, because jets use shit tons of fuel. The fuel tanks are inside a thin aluminum skin. Even the most crappy drone with the smallest explosive can turn a jet in a flaming roman candle. In fact a single incendiery round from any rifle can completely destroy the most expensive fighter jet.
Achmed in a Piper cub and a AK-47 could lay waste to an entire air wing, paint the Piper black, have one martyr with a auto rifle and incediary rounds in the passenger seat, come in below the radar and roof top level, and fly in circles around the airfields spraying anything with fuel with bullets blessed by an Imam. Both can be yelling Allah Akbar to increase their bravery.
What amazes me to no end is how the entire world sits by and allows Israel to bomb the crap out of Gaza and no one has the balls or brains to take out the IDF airfields. Take out the aircraft, buildings, and fuel depot. Russia should give Hezbollah a whole bunch of hypersonic ground to ground missiles and french fry every aircraft in little shit Israel.
Hell, Israel doesn’t even have any woods to hide their airplanes, they are all sitting wide open is full view in that desert shithole. What I am waiting for is drone swarms. Yes drone swarms – 500 mini drones which swarm and airfield and take out every aircraft. The little drones can fly into the engine intake, or up the tail pipe, or into the cockpit and explode a kilo of C-4. Now that would make a good Youtube video. Even better would be micro drones flying into Congress and capping every Zionist whore congressman. All of Amerika would cheer. Aipac would cry crocodile tears. The ADL would call us all dirty aunty semenites.
